SIKES
Strong men tremble when they hear it!
They`ve got cause enough to fear it!
It`s much blacker than they smear it!
Nobody mentions...
My name!
Rich men hold their five-pound notes out --
Saves me emptying their couats out.
They know I could tear their throats out
Just to live up to...
My name!
Wiv me
Jemmy in me hand,
Lemme see the man who dares
Stop me.
Taking what I may
He can start to say his prayers!
Biceps like an iron girder,
Fit for doing of a murder,
If I just so much as heard a
Bloke even whisper...
(spoken) My name! Bill Sikes...
(sung) Some Toff, slumming wiv his valet,
Bumped into me in the alley
Now is eyes`ll never tally
He`d never heard of ...
My name!
One bloke
Used to boast the claim
He could take my name in vain...
Poor bloke...
Shame `e was so green
Never was `e seen again!
Once bad -- What`s the good of turning?
In hell, I`ll be there-a-burning
Meanwhile, thing of what I`m earning
All on account of...
My name!
What is it? What is it? What is it?
NANCY
(spoken) Bill Sikes.
